We've been away

We’ve been away for a week and without internet so I’m well behind with discussions, responses and comments. We had intended to be away a bit longer but some friends from Bavaria have made a sudden decision to come to Perth so we’ve come home to get ready to greet them. We met them through couch-surfing in 2015 when we were looking for somewhere in Bavaria where we could park our motor-home overnight. They insisted that we stay several nights and they took us to some marvellous places that we wouldn’t’ have found on our own. We’ve stayed in touch from time to time and now they’re coming to Perth. How cool is that? The photo is from Goslar in Germany which is where some of my ancestors came from.

I looked at the photo and I was going to say that "it looked so much like Germany", of course, it's Germany! Those houses are beautiful.

@JudyEv - I love that architecture, the same you find in the north of France, particularly Alsace.

I have so many photos from there. We were just entranced with it all.

Those houses are just so unlike anything we have here. We don't have a lot that is really 'old' here. We'll just have to show them lots of kangaroos.

That is a beautiful photo! Some of our ancestors came from Germany but I have no idea where in Germany they came from. I hope you enjoy their visit.

We found the address of one of my ancestors but the house is no longer there.

@judyev Those houses look so good. A lot of maintenance though I suspect.

I guess so. Vince annoys me when I admire a house and he says 'but look at the maintenance.' He particularly hates box gutters! lol

That's a lovely photo. It's interesting to know that some of your ancestors come from Germany. It's so nice that you have stayed in touch. You can show them places around Perth. Have a good time with your friends
